Just did a browsing on 2.6.21.rc4 statd code (also with few quick test
runs to confirm). Look like this patch is no longer needed. I
tentatively withdraw this patch. Will continue the test this week. A
summary will be sent after all the testings are completed.

Neil,

I was wrong. Unlike other patches that can be individually tested, this
patch has to combine with all other changes (including user mode statd
patch) so my code reading deceived me. I'm mostly done but just found a
new bug few minutes ago (that I never notice before). It is pretty late
for me now so I'll continue tomorrow. G'night !
